When in Paris... (slow updates)

1: First Day in Paris...

"Bonjour Paris!" Lily exclaimed to no one in particular. She was ecstatic to finally be in the City of Love for the summer. It took a lot of hours, weekends, and overtime but she did it. Grabbing her luggage, she made her way out of the airport.

"Taxi!"

The cab driver helped load her things and she gladly told him where to go. She quickly pulled out her camera to take pictures and videos. I'm going to capture every moment. It wasn't a long ride as they arrived to her hotel.

"Merci." Walking up the steps of the hotel, she felt like she was in a movie. Especially when she entered the building; taking in her surroundings she fell in love with the aesthetic. "Hi, I have a room under Lily Park."

"Bonjour mademoiselle, let me pull it up and then we'll get you settled in."

After 10 minutes, Lily found herself in her room with a gorgeous view of the Eiffel Tower. After taking a few pictures of the view, she decided to unpack her things and get settled. Her clothes consisted of skirts, pants, dresses, and a few pairs of shorts. But only four pairs of shoes as she wanted to keep her outfits simple. Lily knew she'd shop so she didn't pack a lot of clothes. 

Afterwards, she took a nap to prepare her for the evening. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Nothing like taking a nap and a shower to feel refreshed." The evening weather was warm and not too humid so she decided to wear a simple black summer dress with her comfy sneakers. Packing her camera, a water bottle, and few other necessities she was ready to go and explore.

It didn't take long for Lily to get entranced with her surroundings. She loved the buildings and the vibes in the air. Something about Paris always sparked an interest in Lily's heart. Without looking where she was going, she accidentally bumped into someone.

"Oh I'm so sorry."

"It's alright." Lily looked at the girl and she was intrigued about her attire. Not because she was all in purple but because she was carrying a sort of flashlight looking device. 

"I don't mean to be rude or anything, but may I ask what it is you're carrying?"

"Oh this? It's called a lightstick. Something that k-pop fans have to support their idols."

"That's very interesting. And who is it that you support?"

"Have you heard of BTS?"

"I'm afraid not."

"That's alright. Google them then you'll fall in love. Now I don't mean to be rude but I have to get going to their concert. So you might see more fans dressed like me or with the lightsticks."

"Well thank you for sparing me some time. I hope you enjoy the concert!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It was around 10:30 when Lily found herself leaving the Eiffel Tower. She took so many pictures and videos of the lights, that her memory card was almost full. Lily enjoyed the evening walk back to her hotel, but she found herself craving a snack. Luckily, she was right next to a cafe.

Walking in she was hit with aromas of coffee and bread. It wasn't too busy, just to her liking, so she ordered an Americano and then sat outside. She pulled out her journal to begin her summer entry of Paris.

First day in Paris was amazing. Although I didn't get to explore til the evening, it was still enjoyable. I even met a girl who told me of this group called BTS that she was attending their concert... speaking of I should look them up later. 

She continued writing in her journal when a server appeared with her drink, "Thank you." Sipping her drink, she looked around to see other people dressed just like that girl she talked to. Guess the concert finished.

While looking around, she saw two figures approaching the coffee shop and walking in. They had hats and masks on so Lily couldn't help but look at them. She immediately looked away when they sat right at the window, next to her. Bringing her focus back to her journal, she continued her entry.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After 30 minutes, Lily finished her entry with a drawing and began to pack up. She couldn't help but notice the two figures also got up. Not minding them anymore, she began to make her way to her hotel. But then, the two figures were right behind her. She got more nervous as she continued her way back.

Hoping they'd turn somewhere, they never did but followed her to her hotel. Maybe they're also staying here. I can't just assume they're bad people. Once Lily saw the elevator doors were open, she went in avoiding eye contact with them. But, she was known to have bad luck from time-to-time so they also got in the elevator.

Having her phone in hand, she was ready in case they did anything. 

"Excuse me."

"Yes?"

"Number 10 please?" 

"Oh sure, of course. I'm sorry," Lily felt embarrassed, she didn't realize she was blocking the buttons and didn't even ask them the floor. But she used this chance to talk to them, "so are you here visiting Paris?"

"Yes. We did a concert."

"Oh that's awesome. What concert?" Lily figured they didn't speak English very well from their accents so she tried to keep the conversation simple.

"Do you know BTS?" The other person snickered at the question but Lily was clueless. "No I don't. But I talked to a fan earlier."

"Oh okay. Well it is our concert."

"Oh so you two are BTS?"

"There are more of us."

The elevator opened to the 9th floor, Lily's floor, "That's very cool. Well it was nice to meet you. My name is Lily."

"My name is Jin." The taller man pulled his mask down and Lily took in his handsome face.

"My name is Taehyung." The other man pulled his mask down and Lily felt her heart pound at the sight of his face.

"Well I hope you two have a good night."

"You too Lily, bye."

Once the elevator doors closed, Lily let out a big sigh. She felt nervous and hot for some reason, thinking she was coming down with something so she rushed back to her room. But she wasn't the only one who felt that way.
